The EHC is committed to providing its NMOs with tools, training and support in order to advocate effectively for over 120,000 people in Europe living with a bleeding disorder. An important part of that commitment is to ensure that our community is prepared, educated and empowered now and in the future to work on behalf of the best interests of the patients the EHC represents. This is also why the EHC has built a comprehensive youth leadership strategy to ensure community leadership now and into the future. 

We have witnessed the strength and power of the energy, enthusiasm and engagement from our youth community in Europe. Our goal has always been to get our trainees to work, to keep them motivated, engaged and feeling part of the community. 

The Youth Strategy aims to equip the participants with various tools and strategies to be more actively involved in their NMOs and sees our volunteers participate in specific training and workshops designed for our youth – namely the Youth Leadership Workshop taking place in Brussels every year. The Strategy also embeds youth participation in our broader EHC events and trainings each year.
